I'm not...
your son-in-law.
What did you just say?
I'm not your son-in-law. I'm sorry.
- What? - He's not his son-in-law?
What?
Why do you say you're not my son-in-law?
How can you not be my son-in-law?
I'm sorry.
I...
I'm...
I'm just a banker.
My goodness.
What's wrong with him?
- What? - What's wrong with him?
Branch Manager.
Yes,
Count Faad.
I'll be waiting...
for your investment plan.
Yes.
Stand up.
You're a man, yet you went down on your knees...
because of mere 10 million dollars.
Try harder to be a son-in-law who's good enough for me.
I'm telling you to put all your might in.
Until you become one.
- Hello? - Don't forget about the meeting.
What meeting?
What's with you nowadays? It's not like you.
We're meeting with a scriptwriter on "Man Who Flogs a Dead Horse".
So are you coming to the office?
No, I have another urgent meeting.
Please proceed without me.
Mom, where are you going?
I'm going for something very important.
If it works out,
you might be able to take ballet lessons.
Really?
Then Mom,
apply this.
Shall I?
- Like this. - Do well.
Okay, for your ballet lessons!
All right.
I'll be back soon,
- so stay at Granny's house. - Okay.
If Grandma asks you if you want to eat ramyeon,
you must tell her that you want to eat rice.
- Okay. - Go on.
Awesome, I'm going to eat a lot.
Gosh.
Hello. Enjoy your time.
Mi Ran, do you think I'll do a good job?
Of course.
You dedicated a lot of time for this opportunity.
Listen, be confident.
Show them what you've got.
- I'll do well. - Okay.
You still have a long way to go.
Why don't you learn skills to be a better housewife?
You can't write.
I'm Steven Spielberg if you become a writer.
Focus more on saving money.
Don't waste money that Ho Rim brings home.
Mom, you're a writer. My teacher said that it's cool.
How many did we receive?
We received about 20.
May I help you?
I'm here for "Man Who Flogs a Dead Horse".
Are you Writer Lee Gyu Eun?
Gosh, I'm not a writer yet.
- Are you Writer Lee Gyu Eun? - Yes.
Please come this way.
I'm sorry, but something urgent came up.
Manager Lee can't be here today.
I'll speak on behalf of her.
Okay.
That won't be necessary. I'm here.
Don't you dare be late.
Hello, I'm Lee Ji Young.
I'm also Lee Ji Young.
I know. I called you in since we have the same name.
Pardon me?
I was kidding.
JJ Entertainment and I don't have time to waste.
Let's take a seat. Bring me some coffee.
- Yes, ma'am. - What would you like to drink?
I'll take the same coffee.
Let's talk about your work.
- Sure. - First of all,
I enjoyed reading "Man Who Flogs a Dead Horse".
I like the set-up of the male character.
Right, isn't he great?
I had Gong Yoo in mind for that character.
To imagine that Gong Yoo would appear in my drama...
When I imagined that Mr. Gong Yoo...
would act while reading my script,
- I was so excited. - Right.
We'll cast Gong Yoo for your next script.
Pardon me? Did you say my next script?
We don't plan to produce "Man Who Flogs a Dead Horse".
I see.
Then why did you call me?
You write well.
With your writing skill,
I thought we could produce something together.
You must have written other scripts.
Send all of them to me.
Don't you want to write a new script?
Well, I...
I do.
Write a new script.
Two weeks should be enough. Send it to me.
Two weeks?
Think about Gong Yoo, and push yourself a little.
- I wish you luck. - Okay.
Our next meeting will be...
in two weeks when you finish your script.
Are you married?
- Yes. - Do you have children?
I have a seven-year-old daughter.
That's impressive.
You write even though you're a mother living in Korea.
I have respect for you.
Manager Lee must really like you.
Why do you say that?
She told me that she had another important meeting,
but she came to meet you instead.
It means that she considers you important.
Really?
I look forward to seeing high-quality work from you.
Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
I feel good and bad at the same time.
I'm not sure if she tried to boss me around.
Either way, they approve of my work.
"Writer Lee".
They called me a writer.
"Writer Lee".
Writer Lee, Writer Lee. I'll be the best writer.
Let's see.
Why doesn't he answer?
(Honey)
He never answers quickly.
What brings you here? You should have just called.
- What are you doing? - Ji Young.
Please save me.
Can I keep pretending that I'm your husband?
What are you talking about?
Your father will stay in Korea only for a few more days.
No one will find out as long as we keep quiet.
Let's do that please.
If he finds out that I was involved with you despite being married,
he'd skin me alive.
- Are you out of your mind? - What should I do?
He thinks that I'm your husband.
He threw a fit at the bank today.
You haven't told him the truth yet?
How could I? Everyone at work...
thinks that I'm the son-in-law of a count.
They'll point fingers at me.
If he finds out the truth,
he'll take back his 10 million-dollar investment.
I beg you, Ji Young.
What did you just say?
10 million-dollar investment?
He put 10 million dollars in your bank?
What?
Haven't I told you?
You still haven't told him the truth?
That's why I couldn't.
What else did he give you, thinking that you're my husband?
Who do you think I am? My legs hurt.
Who do you think I am?
You shouldn't talk to me like this.
Ho Rim, do you think...
we're deeply involved?
Ji Young, that's not the problem.
The problem is that a married man is meeting a single woman.
This is what the society calls an extramarital affair.
- Extramarital affair? - That's right.
That's why I couldn't say anything. He showed me our photos.
That's what I'm saying. Are we in a relationship?
Must I say that out loud?
Remember us at the swimming pool?
Can you teach me how to swim?
All we did was swim.
1, 2.
Move your arms. Are you okay?
- Don't drown. - Help me.
Right, all we did was swim.
We were at a restaurant that night.
- All we did was drink wine. - What?
Don't you remember what happened?
Honey.
"Honey"?
No, I meant...
Ji Young.
Ms. Ji Young?
Manager Lee?
We shared love anyway.
We didn't make love.
The photos of us.
Your dad has photos of us doing worse.
What about those?
What lunatic would think we're only friends?
Think about this from a long-lost dad's point of view.
The answer's clear as day.
What a bother.
It better not be spam.
Hello? What?
I'm Kang Ho Rim.
What?
A sports car?
Yes.
No.
Just a moment.
Who is it?
Sir?
Sir.
Why did you come here?
Yes, that's right.
What's all this?
Your husband and father visited our store a few days ago.
We needed time to tailor some of the outfits.
- You're home. - Yes.
- How are you? - Fine.
You said you didn't receive anything.
He bought all this for you.
Let me explain.
I'm innocent.
I'm positive.
I said, "I'm jealous. Is he your father-in-law?"
He said...
"Yes," with a grin.
Ji Young, I had...
lost my mind completely at the time.
He bought you two cars.
I was jealous.
Is he not your husband?
- No. - Yes.
Sir.
Drive safely.
Thank you.
Ji Young.
What on earth is going on?
Take everything with you.
He told me to pick, so I did.
I'm angry that...
our relationship is being treated like some cheap affair.
Why is this an affair?
We're...
- very close friends. - Shut it.
Give me his number.
I'll see him tomorrow.
- Ji Young. - Forget it, then.
I'll call them and ask for the buyer's details.
- Get out. - I'll tell you the number.
Can you tell him to leave at least half the money...
he deposited in our bank?
I can't lose my job.
I have a family to support.
My daughter...
starts school next year.
Okay.
I think I can ask him about that.
Thank you.
Here.
You can go.
(Han Jae Man)
What a mess.
I'm sneaking around my own office.
Something's definitely wrong.
Something's not right.
It smells fishy.
- What are you doing? - You scared me!
I bought a new wristwatch,
and I was checking if it glowed in the dark.
Your phone tells the time.
How old fashioned.
Why were the lights off?
The fuse blew.
I went downstairs to change it.
Honey, it's 40 minutes past.
You're late.
Why are you saying you aren't my son-in-law?
How can you not be?
Give me his number. I'll see him tomorrow.
This is just insane.
Dad, I want to pee.
You can come in. Daddy's done.
Mom, Dad pooped with his pants on.
Hey.
Mom, Dad was pooping with his pants on.
He can't be.
- Let's see. - How gross.
I'm off.
Do you have a problem at work?
You've been acting strangely.
Everything's fine.
Then are you sick?
You look pale, and you didn't eat much for breakfast.
Look at me.
Must I stuff my face like a pig in the morning?
Because you set the table?
I didn't say that.
I'm just worried about you. Why are you so twisted?
Forget it.
Stop holding me back when I need to get to work.
See you.
My goodness.
Has he lost his mind?
Why did he vent at me?
Is something wrong?
Mom, I need something for class.
Do you? Can I do the dishes first?
Give me a bit.
(Chief Kang Ho Rim)
My lips are too dark.
Okay.
(Sinnara Savings Bank)
Where's our branch manager?
Out on business. He'll be back in the afternoon.
Hello, good morning.
- Thank you. - Hello, welcome.
How can I help you?
Sir, I can help you.
I'd like to open an account.
Can you recommend me something?
Sir, my colleague will help you.
Let me see.
You have a great face.
You do.
Your parents did and will do nothing for you,
but you are blessed in your relationships with women.
What do you mean?
He has...
the face of a first lady.
Your wife will gather a great fortune, and you will...
benefit from it for the rest of your life.
That's him.
- My goodness. - Really?
That's nonsense. A man can't have the face of a first lady.
Why not?
We had a female president.
You're so prejudiced, and that's why...
you're still single and a loser.
You're really good at reading faces.
One look and you can tell right away.
Did you watch the movie about people who read faces?
- Yes. - Of course.
I was the chief consultant on that movie.
Okay?
If you have any questions or are at...
a crossroads in your life, give me a call.
- Call me. - Okay.
Call me.
What about me?
Sir. Sir.
Wait.
(Areum Areum Fortune-telling)
What a joke.
All sorts of weirdos are bothering me now.
I'm off to see my dad.
We had fun while it lasted.
Are you Ms. Lee Ji Young?
Yes, I am.
Please get in. The gentleman's waiting for you.
(Ms. Lee)
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
after the tone.
Hello, my name is Lee Ji Young.
Dad, I'm Ji Young.
I'm Lee Ji Young.
He's waiting for you inside.
Welcome, my lady. We were waiting for you.
I'm Abdallah Muhammad Walliwalla from Bodoantia.
Hello, nice to meet you.
Come with me.
Is that a real pearl?
It used to be our best seller.
The prices dropped when Japan's Mikimoto...
succeeded in artificial breeding.
Please wait here. He'll join you shortly.
Okay.
There's no need to wait. I'm here.
Look at you.
You must be Ji Young.
We finally get to meet.
I'm so pleased.
Yes.
I'm very pleased as well.
I'm Lee Ji Young.
Let me have a look at you,
my dear daughter.
Dad?
I found you at last.
My dear daughter.
I missed you so much, Dad.
Me too.
I missed you too.
Dad.
- Dear daughter. - Dad.
Dad.
Dear daughter.
Dad.
Oh... Oh my...
